You are all gonna live like in socialist scandinavia

Occasionally American politicians seem to like to scare voters off a candidate, by accusing him to have the intention to turn America into socialist
Europe, with Europe being more Germany, maybe France and Scandinavia and not so much say Spain or Italy.

Do Americans know what live in those countries is like? I was under the assumption with the information one gets over the internet that isnt such a
scary prospect.

Except that it is not honoured by the authority's in america whom break it at any opportunity, still I truly wish we had one in the UK rather than
the ancient and only for the robber barrons magna carter.

I have spent quite a bit of time in socialist European countries on business.

My over all impression was that the citizens that lived in those countries were by and large HAPPY, especially in the Scandinavian countries. I
always enjoyed my times there as the people were friendly and loving.

They also seemed to have plenty of discretionary income which was the reason I was there on business. And after business hours they were ready to
party. Especially in Sweden.

For the same reason that NO country is the best in the world. That sort of narcissism leads to the kind of mentality that allows you to think so.

After all we spend more money on EVERYTHING than our northern neighbors, and Europeans countries.

Yes you do, and the only thing you are actually #1 is the military. America trails dozens of countries in every other vital statistic from Education
to Middle Class Income etc..

The amount of money you spend isn't a indicator of how good your country is.

So if it is a matter of money as the 'social engineers' purport it to be

I don't know of any 'social engineers' who claim this to be the case.

Why is America so 'God aweful' ?

I think American leadership is God awful and the American people far too busy with who is winning the X Factor to notice they are being duped. Your
country isn't awful, your apathetic way of getting things done is though.

The embodiment of the US is a spoiled rotten child with an ego problem. Like someone raised a kid, and only tended to their ego & stoked greed instead
of preparing them for reality. Imagine what kind of person would come from this kind of rearing: (edit: that's sort of a trick request, you only need
to look at who's in charge)

"You are the prettiest, most attractive there is!"

"You are smarter than them."

"You are of privilege, you can do no wrong."

"This family's morals are far superior than our lowly neighbors'."

"Everyone else is an ignorant fool, this family is always right."

"we can have and do what we want, it is our right as who we are."

"Money fixes everything."

Now teach that to a populace. Makes for a really disgusting society who thinks their feces doesn't reek. That's essentially America when we
look at the rest of the world. Young, rich (well, formerly, on the decline ATM) ego-centric, greedy, snide, holier-than-thou.

There are a lot of us who refuse to think this way, so there is hope that a sense of social humility, if you will, catches on eventually.

For the same reason that NO country is the best in the world. That sort of narcissism leads to the kind of mentality that allows you to think so.

Narcissism is not a trait unique to Americans.

Yes you do, and the only thing you are actually #1 is the military. America trails dozens of countries in every other vital statistic from Education
to Middle Class Income etc..

That's not true we spend more on everything all those social engineering programs to education. But then again that is the benefit to so called
'allies' since they outsource their national security, and let someone else do all the heavy lifting.

The amount of money you spend isn't a indicator of how good your country is.

Wish someone would tell the 'social engineers' in this country who just think throwing billions of dollars at so called problems means that is going
to fix them.

I don't know of any 'social engineers' who claim this to be the case.

I know a lot of social engineers who always say the US needs to be more like Europe, and Canada.

They seem to think that changing the environment to suit the individual instead of the individual adapting to changing times is the only way.

I think American leadership is God awful and the American people far too busy with who is winning the X Factor to notice they are being duped. Your
country isn't awful, your apathetic way of getting things done is though

I would agree that American leadership is aweful, and after the billions blown on social engineering
